My name is Jeff Baker. I am on the ballot in the Republican primary for Sheriff of Gaston County. Recently I announced that I no longer wished to pursue the office of sheriff and instead was endorsing Jeff Clark for sheriff. The reasons for doing so are as follows:

Jeff Clark represents my traditional family values and has a similar vision for transforming the Gaston County Sheriff’s Department into a professional law enforcement agency.

Throughout his career Jeff Clark has established an exemplary track record with progressive leadership positions within the law enforcement community. His education, training and commitment to establishing fiscal responsibility to county government also mirror my own organizational goals.
